- New Features:
- Bugs fixed:
- Bug fix: Closing the window did not shut down the app. with the result that subsequent invocations of gjots would offer a READ-ONLY session.
- Known bugs (fixes or ideas appreciated):
- When gjots(1) starts up, the tree display is sometimes garbled. It can be cleared by closing and re-opened the root, but why does it happen?
- New Features:
- Read-only flag (-r) and checkbox (Files->Readonly) added
- Simple write-locking added - enforces single writer and permits multiple readers. Locking for file "filename" is via a file called ".#filename" in the same directory; it contains the pid of the current write-locking process. The first gjots process to open the file (without the -r flag) gets to be the unique writer. Subsequent gjots processes opening the same file are offered the option of "Try Again" (in case the original writer is finished) or "Read only". If a writer is abnormally terminated leaving a file locked, this is detected and defeated by the next gjots process to open the file (without the -r flag).
- Left and top toolbars are now optional
- "Read manual" item added to Help menu (invokes gjots -r on readme.gjots)

- Shift-Up/Shift-Down = expand Selection Up/Down,
- ^Left/^Right = move Selection Left/Right (ie between parent & child) - same as the new "Promote/Demote Items"
- Left/Right = go to parent/child folder
- Changed tree commands:
- "New Page" is now "New Item"
- "Move Up/Down" are now "Move Items Up/Down"
- "Promote" is now "Promote Items" and moves the item(s) to same level as the parent and after it. (previous behaviour was to make the current item into a folder)
